Why it’s the right choice...
• Open communications interface for present and future wireless technology
• CoOrdinator is networkable, allowing a wide usage of the system
• 3rd party interface allowing GPS data to be passed to other software applications
• 4 inputs as standard on INCA (12 optional) for detailed vehicle monitoring
• Captures much more detail than a basic ‘grab and send’ tracking device
• Software is designed and supported ‘in-house’ by a team of talented engineers
• Huge number of installed INCAs around the World, growing every day.
• APD and Orange have proven track records working with large, demanding
organisations.
• Inca is APD’s fifth tracking device, not a first entry into the market. There really is
nothing to match it.
• Volume production has brought the cost of this functionality down to reasonable
levels. Now all types of organisation can reap the real benefits of INCA AVL
